Andrada’s New-Route Spree

By Dougald MacDonald

The Spanish star Dani Andrada is showing the best shape of his life: Since the start of the year, he has completed seven new routes of 5.14c or harder, including one possible 5.15a. The latter is Definición de Resistencia at the limestone crag Terradets in northern Spain. Andrada, 30, suggests this link-up of the routes Defnición de Acción (5.14b) and Esencia de Resistencia (5.14c/d) could be 5.15a, according to www.8a.nu.
